Almost without exception, the paintings in this selection depict single isolated figures rather than bodies intertwined. Perhaps revealingly, two figures do appear - one as a shadowy trace of the other - in the predominantly black painting, ‘Shadow’. Carrying an awareness that our most complex interior states can be traced back to bodily links and to the severance of such links, Andrew Litten seeks to assuage feelings of separateness through attachment. In this exhibition he explores attachment in two ways: through connections housed within an individual self, and through the visceral and dependent relationship that exists between an artist and their artwork.
